To develop a HAZOP study teaching module

This paper describes the development of a teaching module for a Hazards and Operability (HAZOP) study, a key safety analysis method for process engineers. Current teaching methods for HAZOP do not provide students with a visual conception of the consequences of making incorrect safety assessments. This new HAZOP model has an interactive animated case-study section to bring reality to the subject and to stimulate student interest and learning capability as regards HAZOP.
